Not sure what to say?

He'll always be 'Doctor Bickley' to me. Dr. Bickley was a most excellent teacher and leader.

Dr Bickley took great interest in entomology undergrads and offered first class advice in his class for graduating seniors. He was a strong teacher and leader and will be greatly missed by his pupils and colleagues. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Dr. Bickley was the department Chair when I entered the program and he was most helpful in obtaining an assistantship for me. We remained friends in the years since. My condolences to his immediate and extended family. He was a gentleman and a scholar. Jay Nixon

It was an honor to have Dr. Bickley come by Mosquito Control to help us with difficult identifications. He was always helpful and kind.
I also was able to visit with him at Riderwood many times (I'd see him while at dinner with my mom) and was able to pass on greetings from some of his entomologist friends.
We'll all miss you, Bick.
